ADMINISTRATION and TRAINING

All officers participated in our annual firearms qualification in May.  We re-qualified on duty and off duty/back-up weapons as well as rifles.

Det. Bickle sent out letters asking for donation for our “Shop with a Cop” program.  So far we have about $3000 in donations.  We will really be able to help out our community this fall with school cloths and supplies.

We continue to work with the IT department on our transition to thin-client.

We held an orientation meeting with our new reserve officers and will be bringing them to council for swearing in and introductions soon.

Work continues on the accreditation process.  After attending a class a few months ago, we learned that we could reduce the cost of the accreditation inspection by scanning and creating hyperlinks to all of the documents that show we are in compliance with specific inspection action items.  While time consuming on our end, it will speed things up for the inspectors which will in turn save us money.  Once these processes are automated we should be able to do maintenance as polices and procedures are updated making subsequent re-inspections a breeze, or at least less painful.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER

Officer Way picked up a runaway, ran off some trespassers and looked for a subject in the woods near the middle school.  He also responded this month to two separate requests for assistance by school administration, assisting them with out of control kids.  One of the kids was suicidal and needed to be transported to the hospital for an evaluation.

We also had some kids at the elementary school report seeing someone in the woods with a gun.  An extensive search of the woods was done and we were not able to verify the kids story.  At this time it appears to be a case of over-active imagination, however we will continue to do extra patrol just in case

Officer Way  completed 80 background checks for the OTSD.

INVESTIGATIONS

Detective Bickle is working on several interesting cases, which include a criminal mistreatment case, a rape case  and a stolen car case. Additionally, he has some suspects captured on surveillance of a recent burglary.  The photos of the suspects have been distributed to other Law Enforcement Agencies asking for help in identifying the suspects.  He is following up on two prescription fraud cases (one taken by Officer Coates the other taken by Chief Yamashita).  It appears that these cases may be linked to a larger ring committing fraud throughout the Pacific NW.  We have been in contact with the DEA.

CODE ENFORCEMENT

Code Enforcement Officer Moody, wrote 9 citations in May.  He also took in 34 code enforcement related complaints, while clearing 16 pending complaints.   He transported two dogs to Clackamas County Dog Services.  He checked on permits and licenses for the electrical and construction crews doing work on the new Gentle Dental office space.  He also keeps an eye on local construction (Gibson homes), watching for any un- permitted work.

Officer Moody and Reserve Code Enforcement Officer Brett distributed letters (door-to-door) in the Deer Point area.  The letters were entitled “Be a Good Neighbor” and provided information on various code enforcement violations, ordinances and things we can all do to make our neighborhoods more enjoyable.
